Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the eviction of tenants under Section 14(1)(k) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, for using the tenanted premises for commercial purposes contrary to the lease terms. The Court clarified that tenants cannot resist eviction on the grounds that the landlord previously permitted such use. The Court affirmed the conditional order of eviction, emphasizing compliance with the lease conditions and the authority's rights to enforce them.
